However, he is often criticized for getting lyrics laughably wrong. Maybe he thinks he is nailing it or maybe he is trolling everyone with his terrible singing.

In an instagram story from December, James had another memorable lyric mixup. He could be heard singing “Yabadabadoo old damn navy” while singing along with “Stay Down” by 6BLACK. The actual lyric is “Hoppin’ out the car, no photos, baby”. James was just a bit off.

The song was released by 6LACK in 2020. It features Lil Durk and Yung Thug.

James was also seen wearing sunglasses and drinking a glass of wine in the video.

The internet, of course, took the chance to roast him. It's nothing new for James, who has dealt with haters his entire career and still carried on with his genuine, sometimes corny, self.

James is also often criticized for his tweets. He will use plenty of emojis in his tweets and often comes off as an old dad.

In his acceptance speech James reflected on his journey in basketball. He also thanked his family and those who helped him along the way. His wife, Savannah, and kids, Bronny, Bryce and Zhuri, were on stage alongside him as he accepted the honor.

James also used the speech to announce that he is returning to play another season in the NBA. He hinted at possible retirement following the LA Lakers' loss to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference finals. James said that he believes he has more to give to the game and will come back for another run at a title.

James and the Lakers will be one of the favorites to win the West. They brought back key free agents Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura and D’Angelo Russell. They also signed Taurean Prince, Gabe Vincent and others to bolster the roster.

The Lakers will have to compete with the Nuggets, new-look Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors, a healthy LA Clippers team and more in a loaded West.
